Reflexotherapy is making a huge career all over the world. It is a method of therapeutic massage in which specific points and reflex zones on the feet are stimulated, corresponding to individual organs and systems of the human body.

Reflexotherapyis an art and science at the same time, and above all an extremely effective form of therapy and relaxation.Reflexotherapyrequires treating a person as an indivisible whole, embracing the body, mind and spirit.

Reflexotherapy is an effective antidote to stress, combats pain in the head, spine and other parts. It also helps to improve the quality of life for seriously ill people.

Reflexologistdoes not distinguish the disease and does not treat it symptomatically. It does not focus on the problem organ or system, but considers the ailment in the context of the whole organism. Pressure therapy on the reflector points of the feet causes physiological responses that stimulate the body's self-healing potential. The goal of thereflexotherapistis such an impact on the patient, thanks to which he regains the physiological state of balance, and thus his he alth. It is not a reflexologist that heals - the body heals itself. The therapist only helps him to function naturally and properly - to eliminate toxins and unblock the meridians.

What are meridians?

According to the tradition of Chinese medicine, the human body functions properly due to the free flow of life energy (chi) through channels, also called energy paths or meridians. If energy stagnates in the meridians, energy circulation is disturbed and the disease process begins. In foot reflexology, the human being - through the body, mind and spirit - is treated as a whole. Often our repressed emotions, work, stress or difficult experiences block the flow of life force and disrupt the proper functioning of the whole organism. Then all kinds of pains, diseases, neuroses, insomnia, stress, chronic fatigue appear - and it is the feet that most often signal the impending disease.

Since the feet are the microcosm of our body, by precisely pressing the appropriate point on the foot, you can affect the related organ - it is a massage of the heart, lungs, kidneys and other organsinternal by the feet.

What does reflexotherapy look like? Foot massage

Massage feels nice at first. Then the pressure becomes a little stronger. When the reflexotherapist hits the point corresponding to a diseased organ, pain is felt. The therapist must massage the area by pressing it with his fingers or pressing it hard with his hand curled into a fist. There is no rule as to when the patient will feel better. With a simple headache, you can feel relief immediately, but it usually takes 12-14 treatments for the body to start repairing itself. You may undergo reflexotherapy no more than three times a week.
